[Lampard]

Are you going to buy it @Lampard?  I sometimes wonder whether one only purchases the product, or the whole package that includes plenty of support by the owner such as Samsung or Apple.  Like if anything goes wrong with a Samsung or Apple phone one doesn't even have to go to the supplier - provided of course it is under warranty - one can go to a million other places to get a fixed.  But how many Redmi Note 5 Pro suppliers are there in any given country?  I haven't seen one direct Redmi outlet yet.  Only big super stores like Carrefour in the UAE or other big discount online sales places that help to do the marketing for Redmi.  Redmi is obviously successfully cashing in on being a look alike of the big name phones like Apple, but I'm not so sure it's something I'd want to go for unless I have plenty of cash to spare.

Back on topic, I've always wondered about the second camera.  Is it there for selfies or for Skype or both?

Yes there are services centers of Xiaomi, Second camera is on other side, not for selfies, they are mostly used for portrait mod.
